Meidum, the southernmost end of the Memphite necropolis, is
generally identified as a burial ground of early Fourth Dynasty date. Almost
nothing is known about later periods at this important archaeological site.
An analysis of archaeological material (mainly pottery from the cemetery),
and the comparison of the latter with finds of pottery from other parts of the
Memphite necropolis, notably West Saqqara, reveal an unknown page in the
history of the late Old Kingdom.
